Superheroes of The Trust OOC Thread (Accepting Alts)

Ack, didn't think of that, that's your stickt..... Ummmm. I have really been thinking of switching out Heal for something else, since she really doesn't use it. What do we need?
That is if the DM is agreeable.


Ooo. I was thinking of something. Postcognition is seeing the past right? Ghosts and spirits are part of the past, so wouldn't it be appropriate for her to be able to see spirits and ghosts through her postcognitive ability?

That would require me to include more spirits and ghosts in the campaign, which I think would push the flavor a bit too much in a mystical direction.

Hehe...which we already have had to fight pretty hard.

We don't really have any seriously "techy" heroes do we?

Nope. Optic was our Iron Man clone, but Jemal kinda vanished. Its a pity, too, because I love Iron Man clones.

Now Star is the science expert of the group, with technology +5, and then physical and life sciences at +2 each. It's a good thing we have access to a science and tech support team; she should at least be competent to take accurate measurements for them. It's still problem area for us.

The initial idea doesn't really justify too much room for improvement in those areas either. I guess with mental quickness, she could learn quickly. But she was supposed to be competent or a dabbler in those areas, not an expert by superhero standards. Star is sort of the back up science character - she takes a rough pass at the situation first (movement, quickness) or aids.

No problem. I was just trying to figure out what sort of ability to replace it with. I'm going to hold off on precognition, at least until we get another PP or two.

Meep. If someone else gets ESP, I'll never use scrying again though. Hee...oh well.

IMO, there's a considerable difference between an ESP that views individuals, versus one that views locations. One finds our mystery super; the other finds out what's inside that building. Clairvoyance versus Scrying in DnD terms.

At least until the location ESP character takes tons of Quickness for extended searching, so they can scan the whole globe to find people.

 

[Shayuri]

That is a good point!

So, kinda like what Hope did with her postcog ability at the warehouse, only it'd be in real time. Hmm..... The powers are rather complimentry of each other rather than stepping on each other's toes.

Maybe we could discuss this IC, that way Hope can find a plausable way (other than oops, I fergot!) to switch out her healing spell for ESP. For her, I'd think it'd be almost priestly the way she does it. I mean, calling on the spirits of nature to help her etc, rather than true 'research', although she does that too. It all ties in with her um druidic-like powers.


Oooo. Evil thought. Those 'nature' spirits of hers could be Ascended Pax, creatures who have been kind of guiding her since childhood, so they explained what they were in ways she could understand at the time when she was a kid.

So I just noticed that Jemal reappeared early this month...could one of you in his game ask him if he plans on reactivating Optic?

 

[Shayuri]

I will do so.
